Cheesy Cauliflower Sticks

I have to say, I had my doubts about these. Cauliflower pizza crust is a thing, I know, and as much as I love to health-ify the foods we eat at home, pizza is off limits. There's no replacing that chewy, doughy crust.

Cheesy bread sticks, however, are fair game. So I set out to recreate the popular cheesy snack, with cauliflower. And it was a sneaky veggie snack success. The crust couldn't pass itself as a pizza crust, it's not 'bready' enough. Instead it's dense, tasty, and cheesy. It held together fairly well, it wasn't overly soggy, and most importantly - it didn't taste like cauliflower.

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cover baking pan with parchment paper. Process cauliflower florets (not the stalks) in food processor by pulsing until it looks like rice. Cook cauliflower in a microwave safe container for 2 minutes on high, it should still be fairly dry. If you find there is too much moisture in the cauliflower, sit in a wire mesh strainer while allowing it to cool.

Combine cooled cauliflower in a large bowl with one cup of the cheese and all of the remaining ingredients except parmesan cheese. Spread mixture onto prepared pan, shaping into rectangle.

Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Once baked, sprinkle with remaining cheese and parmesan cheese, and return to oven for 5 more minutes. Slice and eat.

Hi Jenn, This looks absolutely delicious with all that cheese. I have considered trying the cauliflower crust but wasn't too sure of it and I don't know if my husband would eat it.. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & tweeted.
